Alter Your Life

You know that manual from your first vacuum cleaner with the extra parts all in a ziploc bag so you don't lose any important parts that you never looked at or used? You have and hold onto owner's manuals for appliances, vehicles, and whatever else comes with one, but when it comes to yourself? You struggle to remember to meet your own basic needs!

• A drive to Connecticut in a fancy car opened up my eyes to my own needs I never knew I had.
• How learning my warning signals like on the dashboard of a car helped me advocate for myself and build the life of my dreams.
• Why I created my very OWN owner's manual and invite you to do the same.

Bronwyn is a NYC based performer, musician and lover of trash! Pre-pandemic Bronwyn was performing on Broadway in Disney's Frozen. When Broadway shut down she began finding more furniture and home decor being thrown out in her neighborhood than she could keep. She began re-imagining, selling, and sharing her "highly curated trash" on social media. Bronwyn currently lives on the UWS with her fiancé (thank you, Alissa!) Find her on instagram or TikTok @nyctrashtotreasures to follow along!

• The dating advice Alissa gave Bronwyn that streamlined dating and landed her a fiance!
• Minimize messaging back and forth on the dating apps and time spent on a first date so you don't blow your load too early! How mortifying!
• Plan for cancellations by setting up multiple dates. Doctors do it and so can you!
• If you're compromising little things at the beginning, that's not going to change, so be upfront from the beginning!
• Red flags are helpful! They are guideposts to pay attention to!
• We have an easier time honoring our deal breakers when it comes to trash, but not to love.
• Deal breakers are actually boundaries that create efficiency and a roadmap, not obstacles! And you can "alter" them whenever you want!

I believe that if we spend as much time, energy, and discipline on our insides as we do our outsides, we will be unstoppable.

In this episode I explain…

• How to leverage what we know about building physical strength in the gym/studio to strengthen our emotional body.
• What hypertrophy is and how it works (that's the process of building and growing muscle mass).
• STRENGTH IS BUILT DURING REPAIR and repair happens during rest.
• Delayed onset muscle soreness (aka DOMS) and how that shows up emotionally AND physically.

And that's exactly what we will be exploring and discovering in my newest group experience MOVE! Learn how to build relationship capital with yourself and go from "Who TF am I anymore?" to "I love me!" in this eight week experience to reclaim your GD time, body, and self.

Remember learning about solar systems and oblong spheroids and orbit patterns and ellipses? So fun, right?! Well, today we are talking about solar systems and how they are my new favorite metaphor for ever shifting and changing family dynamics. Are there retrogrades? Maybe! Or are those more astrology than astronomy? Anyway, this will be more philosophical than scientifically accurate, but all of this is based on theories and laws that do actually exist even if my understanding of them is incomplete and surface level.

• Why I'm running a special deal on all of my online courses right now. Message Alissa to learn more!
• Growth and change are not a process of replacement. It's a process of amalgamation. It's an augmentation, combination, and integration.
• BEing includes some DOing, but it isn't exclusively DOing. We need balance.
• I'm not into big, huge, drastic changes. Because I can't sustain that. I'm in favor of small (are you ready for this) alterations. Because small shifts yield substantial and most importantly SUSTAINABLE change.
